Indications
- Easy & safe detachment of fibrosis adhering to the dura mater, implanted devices and peripheral nerves, tendons & muscles
- Preserve targeted structures (e.g. of a risk of iatrogenic lesions) and so, will lead to better intraoperative and perioperative outcomes

A minimally invasive revision spine case can lead to many challenges including an increased risk of a dural tear, which is more difficult to repair than in the case of a conventional approach.
We have recently introduced the use of the CADISS system in a few cases of recurrent herniated discs. The first impression is the significant help it brings that makes it possible to catch up the additional waiting time for soaking by accelerating the time of the dissection of fibrosis.
Dr. Xavier Collard

« Patients who undergo for spine revision surgery with epidural fibrosis in which CADISS® is used intraoperatively present better intraoperative and perioperative parameters. The surgical difficulty and the incidence of dural tears and intraoperative bleeding from epidural veins are significantly reduced. »
Dr. Michel Triffaux

« At first I was septic but after using the CADISS it really helps in spinal revision surgery which is always a challenge for the surgeon. »
